            <dd>- Applying to individual List Items (LI) has no effect. Must be

            <dd>- Applying to individual List Items (LI) indents the list item as well
                as applying the property.
            <dd><b class="alert2">6.0:</b>
            <dd>- Beginning in this version, there only seems to be enough space 
                allocated to the list marker when list-style-position is set to "inside" 
                for one digit plus its accompanying "." suffix character (even that 
                is questionable, depending on the font I suppose.) If there are more 
                characters than this (say, if the numbering starts or goes beyond 
                10 or more), then the list marker starts to overlap the list item content.
